5 0

Answer:

  • 200

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Total certificates = 500
  • Math = m
  • Science = s

<u>Equations </u>

  • m+s = 500  ⇒ s = 500 - m

<u>Girls who won certificates:</u>

  • 2/3m = 50 + 3/2*1/2s
  • 2/3m = 50 + 3/4s

<u>Multiply both sides by 12 to clear fractions</u>

  • 8m = 600 + 9s

<u>Substitute s</u>

  • 8m = 600 + 9(500 - m)
  • 8m = 600 + 4500 - 9m
  • 17m = 5100
  • m = 5100/17
  • m =300

<u>Girls who won math:</u>

  • 2/3*300 = 200

What is the length? In algebra DUE TOMORROW
Mamont248 [21]
The formula for volume is V=lhw, or length times height times weight. To find the length, you divide the volume by the height and width. 

In this case, divide 3,060 first by 12, the height, then by 15, the width.

3,060/12=255
255/15=17

The length is 17.
